What participants say

Because of her empathy and professionalism, Steff is excellent at designing a course of action that meets the specific needs of my company. Throughout our collaboration, Steff’s attitude was constructively critical. She wants to achieve the maximum for her clients, but does not hesitate to give critical feedback in the process. This benefited our collaboration and the result. Kudos!

Alexander Vissers

Having studied with Steff she was able to build skills quickly and apply techniques with congruency and elegance.

Andy ClarkFacilitator & Coach

Steff was the guardian of the ‘Safe Environment’, focusing on the learning process without comments or judgements when learners shared personal or work related stories in their practical exercises. I can surely recommend Steff as a Coach/Trainer !

Ann Van de VoordeIndependent Marketing Consultant

Sharing a course training with Steff was an incredibly positive experience and an opportunity for me to appreciate her stability, curiosity, sense of humour and artistic gifts. Her respectful, calm and confident attitude, her openness to people were one of the most valuable contributions to the ‘field’, and a source of enrichment and learning on both personal and professional levels.

Anna PensanteEditor, Luni Editrice Milano

Steff is a great trainer. Her ability to be entirely present, open-minded and solution-focused, together with her effective communication skills ensure pleasant training days full of eye-openers and ‘can do’ challenges.

Annemie GoedeméProject Manager, Proximus

Steff, thanks for the learning sessions! It has opened a lot of windows, doors and windows for me. An incredibly rich experience, Thx!

Bart OsteiLean

A life-changing course! Highly recommended for everyone! Steff, you are a very engaging person. I can’t imagine a better teacher.

Bart Taekels

I have been impressed by Steff’s abilities in terms of organisation and leadership. Steff is very professional, proactive and creative. She is someone who knows what she wants and gives herself the means to achieve it.

Catherine GilmartinCross cultural Trainer and Executive Coach, Communicaid

Not only applicable at work, but also in daily communication with customers and people in your immediate surroundings. Highly recommended!

Daisy OvaereHoofinspecteur Financiën, Belgische Federale Politie

Steff's integrity, curiosity, and sharp mind were an inspiration to us all. She possesses a broad range of experiences and skills, and is willing to deal with both technical matters and the intricacies of the human mind and human behavior. Steff is fun to work with and cares deeply about the people around her. I consider myself lucky to have shared an intense learning period with her.

Daniela AnderluzziBusiness Consultant

Steff exhibits a very thorough knowledge of systems thinking with the necessary depth and personal support. Working in confidence with respect for the participants’ individuality, she creates a safe feeling to learn to discover yourself. Fascinating, surprising, a mentor in heart and soul.

Danny Hellinckx

Thanks Karl, a new world has opened up for me that I will definitely delve further into the world of Visual Practitioners’ skills!

David MagermanSenior Trainer & Coach

Steff is an excellent facilitator and coach. In doing so, she skilfully uses the Disney Imagineering method. She masters it perfectly, so that the creative process within the team and the build-up from dream to realisation of proposals runs very smoothly. In my opinion, the ‘Disney Imagineering’ and Appreciate Inquiry methods are very similar and the way Steff uses them, the strengths and ambitions within the group can come out even sharper.

Dirk Ameel

Thank you very much for helping in creating such nice atmosphere and dynamics among us. The team is really great, although we are still quite “young” in terms of being together. It was really nice and enriching exercise to learn about ourselves and others. I want to acknowledge that the main factor of this very positive impression and feedback is you with your very well prepared and professional performance. From this first session I sense that that you have a really deep knowledge and you perfectly mix psychological content with easy story telling. – well done!

Dorota BorysSenior Director, GSK

It was a real pleasure to work with Steff during our training. She has tremendous insight and creativity that she brings to her work coupled with positive energy and compassion in dealing with others. Her instincts for what is required in any situation are solid reflecting a strong intuitive sense. Steff is a good leader who helps bring the best out in people toward shared goals and positive accomplishments.

Doug SomersExecutive Coach

Steff is always ready to explore ideas and to sponsor the process. I know her as a person who walks her talk.

Erik LauwersHotelier, Hotel Ulftaler Schenke

Steff, thank you for giving what you have! I wish you a long time to draw energy from what you achieve here with NLP, because, it makes so many people richer, and that makes all the difference.

Geert Van den SteenSenior Project Manager, OM Partners

Steff allows you to access your inner resources. To be able to help people find within themselves whatever they need to become what/who they want to become, is an amazing skill. I can only imagine what she can do for a team.

Hans DemeulenaereZelfbouwcoach, Huis Demeulenaere

The program was an wonderful experience, that really contributed to personal growth and gave strong additional tools to further enhance my coaching activities. Steff’s ability to motivate people to stretch and explore is amazing. She walks the talk and knows how to inspire and challenge people. I can highly recommend her and her organization when you need a business trainer or consultant.

Helena DemuynckLeadership Coach

I attended a coaching exercise with Steff and the result was excellent. Steff takes the time to coach you and guide your process. The experience was worthwhile!

Hilde VanwinckelBusiness Coach

When I met Steff for the first time, there was immediately a ‘click’ between us, because we shared the same values on how organisations should change and develop. She has a a good vision and strategy, but is nevertheless action and result oriented. She is also a fantastic trainer and can install the coaching skills by others very easily.

Ides De VosConsultant, Senior Consultants Vlaanderen vzw

Interactivity among participants. The trainer, Karl Mortier, was very engaging.

Thanks to Karl Mortier, we immediately did a lot of exercises together and worked them out via breakout sessions. This way, we could put the theory into practice right away.

Her knowledge of systems thinking and experience as a business coach always provided the extra insights that put you one step ahead as a consultant.

Katrien De Hert

Every project we delivered was a success thanks to Karl’s great outsourcing management skills, excellent just-in-time resourcing, motivation, flexibility and dedication. And we don’t forget to have fun and share the success as a team which makes our collaboration a long-term win-win partnership. I am happy to recommend Karl for high quality visual services and value-added coaching projects.

Levent Korkmaz

It is always a pleasure to be in the company of Karl. He has immersed himself in the world of visual thinking and presentation to provide unique services to his clients. His storyboard design and mind mapping demonstrate a real skill of bringing concepts alive and making them memorable for clients.

Liz Oseland

I recently followed a fascinating two-day course on facilitation techniques with Steff. She handles it very cleverly by nicely blending practice and theory. Informal, with humour, but also with the necessary depth and coherence of vision. The exercises - practice what you preach - were eye-opening.

Marc MestdaghCEO, 2MPact

Steff’s insight, skill and wisdom impressed upon me her dedication to excellence. I recommend her with the highest level of confidence.

Marilou SeaveyMindBridge NLP & Coach Trainings

'Karl Mortier guided us into the world of storytelling in a short but powerful workshop. With clear stepping stones and the necessary tips on body language, we have the right tools in hand to transform examples from our world into an engaging story that captivates the audience. It is a very pleasant collaboration. Both before and after the meeting, he reached out with the proper attention and care to meet all expectations. We look forward to more!'

Sam Steen

Dear Steff, I want to thank you for the training. I have grown as a person as I wanted to grow. Thanks to all the exercises that were given to me by you.

Saskia

I had the pleasure of receiving training from Steff. Everything that came out of the training has adjusted my life path. Incredibly nice to be able to add a whole new toolbox to my old toolbox!

Stefaan Joos

I had the pleasure of working with Steff for over 7 years as her project and later marketing manager. They were fascinating years, during which I got to know Steff as a unique, inspiring leader and a very human, honourable colleague. Steff, without you I would not be where I am today. You trusted me and gave me the opportunity to grow. I am grateful to you for that. Here’s to many more years of successful cooperation!

Stefaan Oyen

Steff, I don’t really know what to say. Consciously & subconsciously you have taught me so much!!! This is not a goodbye but the beginning of... See you soon.

Highly recommended and possibly a ‘life changer’!
